Gaia's mission begins with the world’s first IVF insurance product that predicts fertility outcomes and insures against the risk of failure, a major moment for modernising the family planning process. Underpinning our product is a proprietary predictive technology that adds a layer of certainty to an expensive, complicated, desperate, opaque but resolutely hopeful space.

We have raised $30million in funding to date, our A round at the end of 2021 was led by Atomico (read why here). We are FCA regulated, and trade on the Lloyd's of London market as a cover holder of Beazley.

We exist so that anyone who wants to have a family can try. Our goal is to create 5,000 families by 2025. We are ambitious, brave and hyper focused when it comes to the means to do this.


Our vision

Everyone who wants a family should have the chance to try. For the 1 in 6 families that struggle to conceive, fertility treatments are an option but they are expensive. We created the world’s first IVF insurance allowing more prospective parents to pursue treatment with increased financial flexibility. Because the difference between having a child or not should not be how rich you are.

The role

Imagine the vast ecosystem of companies that surround the field of fertility, from clinics and MDs to affiliates to contextually relevant brands and apps: your role will be to figure out how to best partner with this ecosystem to drive outsized member growth and value for Gaia, across both the US and UK markets. This role will be based in the US.
